Georgia didn’t plan on Jake Fromm starting 14 of 15 games.
Jacob Eason earned last year’s starting quarterback job outright due to what he did at practice over the summer and preseason. Fromm certainly pushed him, both in practice and in the film room. But Eason came out ahead and was Georgia’s No. 1 quarterback to enter the season.
Eason then sprained his knee against Appalachian State and Fromm took control. Fromm never looked back.
With Fromm becoming Georgia’s top option at quarterback, it was evident Eason would likely never be a starter at Georgia unless an injury occurred.
